>"Abusing your position as a desirable market"

Sounds like something that the US does routinely.

>"Especially while the US provides Europe with its extremely expensive military support blanket"

1) I think it is more than compensating by Europe agreeing to use USD as the reserve currency. The US gets enormous benefits as the result.

2) Angry bear seems not to be able to win over a single country. Beside the US does it for self serving reasons. It is not a charity. And if it did not I think the Europe is quite capable to create and maintain their own army and weapons.
